So clean and simple. Only issue I have is the sound effect started to hurt my ears after a bit. Great submission!

oddly satisfying game.

I'd like to maybe see a screen clearing bomb powerup or something for later on when many bugs spawn but I can only track one, but had a good time. Short and to the point!

Reminds me of summer camp :P

That was a strangely simple but satisfying expérience, and that's a nice twist on the theme. Well done !

My score was 33!

This is the third game I have played in my life where I have burned bugs to death with a magnifying glass. Is this a common child's game? I had never seen anyone around me who played this kind of game.

I like the fact that this game feels right at home on a gameboy system, the positions the ants are spawning at feels repetitive and less than natural, all in all nice game!
